The Scholar and the Scot

**You are cordially invited to *the* country house party of the summer…**
Five years ago, six exceptional ladies graduated from Twittingham Academy and successfully nabbed themselves the most sought-after matrimonial prizes in London. Actually, they didn’t. Not one of them. But the Countess of Fangfoss, formerly known as Miss Julia Twittingham, has a plan to see each of her past charges happily wed after all. *Welcome to Second Chance Manor.*
Olive L’arbre has a brilliant mind but poor vision, mostly of herself. While at Fangfoss Manor with her dearest friends, and a batch of eligible (if not entirely desirable) gentlemen, Olive believes none of them could ever be as interested in her, or her recent paper on Roman architecture, as she is in the latest edition of Journal of the Society of Archaeology. Certainly, none of them could possibly hold her attention better than the daring exploits of her favorite (and likely fictitious) explorer.
But then she meets a man who seems much too interesting—and even more interested in her—to be true. Is it possible he’s the real-world equivalent of her long-time obsession?
Phineas Prince is an adventurer with a fascination for exploring history in far-flung locales. When his sister insists he accompany her to Fangfoss Manor for the summer, his only hope for excitement is the possibility of finding the match to the artifact previously obtained from the Roman ruins located there…or so he thinks.
But before he can start digging, he meets a beautiful scholar…one who just might be his perfect match.
**Beware: This Victorian RomCom is full of plenty of naughty bits and laugh-out-loud moments! You’re going to love revisiting *the* house party of the summer at Fangfoss Manor!**
